FUBARA IS MY SON – WIKE, REVEALS THOSE HE’S FIGHTING
Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, says the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara remains his political son.
Wike made the assertion in an interview with BBC Pidgin published on Saturday afternoon.
According to the minister, the battle was not against Fubara but those he claimed had been pushing the governor against him.
He said, “That one is not a battle. He (Fubara) is my boy, he is my son, why will I fight with him?
“I’m only fighting against people who want to steal what they did not work for.
“When you don’t defeat them, they will think you….. Defeat them to the final stage.
“Now, they are ashamed because they are being defeated. They are the ones pushing Fubara.”
Wike and Fubara have been in engaged in a face-off since 2023 fueling an unending political crisis in Rivers State.
There were reports that Fubara, who was suspended by President Bola Tinubu following the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, had tendered apologies to his former boss.
